yes, it would be better, but we didn’t because we lack the industrial capacity to provide both at scale and affordably so. so instead we just doubled down on fossil fuels and carved out legal corporate & governmental protections for harming people that we predict will get fucked over by climate change.

But that’s just handing China the advantage without a fight, it doesn’t slow them down at all. That’s why it makes no sense.

we slowed them down by using super high tariffs on electric vehicles and solar panels and it makes sense from a geopolitical perspective. the united states & europe uses its economic leverage to bully the world and letting people buy chinese electric vehicles, solar panels, etc. would give the chinese this same type of leverage. trump, biden, obama, both bushes, etc. consider china to be the enemy, so forcing people to stay dependent on fossil fuels instead of green energy is a way of making sure that the united states stays in control; the same is true for europe. that’s also why we regime changed venezuela, libya, iran, etc. because they started selling oil using other currencies besides the dollar and that would make the united states lose some of this leverage too.
